Letter from Donna Moore Wesby -- General Manager/Program Director
The Bible states in Psalm 47: 6,7 to “Sing praises unto the Lord, oh sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the Earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.” Yes, singing is a form of praise. True disciples of Christ don’t have to be told to praise the Lord, because we know that if it had not been for Jesus, we would be lost in sin. The WAAW Shoutfest has become a premier praise and worship event that unites believers from every part of the nation to honor our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Welcome to the 14th Annual WAAW Shoutfest. If this is your first Shoutfest, you are in for a treat. If you have attended previously, welcome back and thanks for returning.
Whether it was your gift in ministering through songs, prayers, or dance, whether it was your support as a sponsor, volunteer, vendor, spectator, or contributor in any way, I thank you on behalf of the WAAW Shout 94.7 FM owners, Dr. Frank and Evangelist Toronta Neely, and the WAAW staff.
I also give honor to the original visionaries of this event over 14 years ago: Mrs. Izora Norman Gunter, Pastor Lester A. Smalls, and Bro. Ruben Freeman. I am humbled to continue their vision that definitely makes a difference in the community. I give appreciation to Bro. Dallas Frazier, Bro. Javen McCaster, Sis. Renza Bing, CDR Productions, Sis. Tfifany Moore Palmer, Bro. Don Wesby, and Patrick and Jackie Dennis for their individual contributions with event plans. Special thanks to our Gold Sponsor Attorney Everett Chandler of The Chandler Law Firm who unselfishly gives of his resources to support Shoutfest and WAAW throughout the year!
We give all glory to God and pray that your support of WAAW Shout 94.7 FM will grow as we endeavor to continue the work of the Lord, because we are The Station For Inspiration and Empowerment Information.
